Because (a) none of the work you mentioned shows up in the plan though and (b) none of the work depends on HOW the final rows are determined - they only depend on what the final rows are (i.e., they're independent of the access plan). Or so it seems to me.

Thanks,
Matt

From a theory point of view, why would they? The INSERT does something different with the data then just a select by itself. Indexes has to be maintained, constraints have to be checked, maybe some triggers fire... so it seems quite reasonable that the cost and even the plan might be different.

If you change the statement - in any way - don't expect to get the same plan. Adding the good old "ROWNUM = 1" can cause for a different plan.

Of course if you have spare cycles some day and want to REALLY dig into it you could do a 10053 trace on the two and start comparing things. You best have a lot of spare cycles if you decided to go down that path. :)

Without getting too much into the specific situation (which I'll include in the post below, for reference), is there any logical reason why Oracle would take a SELECT statement having plan "X" with a cost of, say, 300, and replace it with plan "Y", with a cost of, say, 16000 when I stick an INSERT INTO... in front of it?

The SELECT statement refers to views (e.g., BOM_BILL_OF_MATERIALS) that use non-deterministic PL/SQL functions - the problem seems to be around that area.

I'm not looking for anyone to dig into the specific query (but, hey, if you want to do my work for me, great!). I'm more looking for general/theoretical reasons why something like this would happen. It seems to me that the SELECT should use the same plan, regardless of whether the results are then being inserted into a table.

Here is the exact SQL:

INSERT INTO verp_otm_staged_von_accys (von,

                                       accessory_code,
                                       labor_hours,
                                       heavy_flag)
  SELECT DISTINCT v.von,
                  msi.segment1 accessory_code,
                  NVL (bsor.usage_rate_or_amount, 0) labor_hours,
                  CASE WHEN ',' || msid.heavy_ports || ',' LIKE '%' || v.port || '%' THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END heavy_flag
  FROM verp_otm_staged_vons v
       INNER JOIN (SELECT oel.header_id, oel.inventory_item_id, oel.item_type_code
                   FROM  oe_order_lines oel
                   WHERE oel.item_type_code IN ('OPTION', 'CLASS')
                   UNION ALL
                   SELECT vosal.header_id, vosal.inventory_item_id, vosal.item_type_code
                   FROM  verp_order_std_accy_lines vosal
                   WHERE vosal.item_type_code IN ('OPTION', 'CLASS')) oel
         ON oel.header_id = v.header_id
       LEFT JOIN bom_bill_of_materials bbom
         ON     bbom.organization_id = 92
            AND bbom.assembly_item_id = oel.inventory_item_id
            AND oel.item_type_code = 'CLASS'
       LEFT JOIN bom_inventory_components bic
         ON bic.bill_sequence_id = bbom.bill_sequence_id
            AND NVL (bic.disable_date, SYSDATE + 1) > SYSDATE
       INNER JOIN mtl_system_items msi
         ON msi.organization_id = 92
            AND msi.inventory_item_id = NVL (bic.component_item_id, oel.inventory_item_id)
       INNER JOIN mtl_system_items_b_dfv msid
         ON msid.row_id = msi.ROWID
       INNER JOIN mtl_parameters mp
         ON mp.organization_code = v.port
       LEFT JOIN bom_standard_operations bso
         ON bso.operation_code = msi.segment1
            AND bso.organization_id = mp.organization_id
       LEFT JOIN bom_std_op_resources bsor
         ON bsor.standard_operation_id = bso.standard_operation_id
       LEFT JOIN bom_resources br
         ON br.resource_id = bsor.resource_id
            AND br.resource_code IN ('Labor', 'Std Labor')
  WHERE v.header_id = :b1
